2013 Movie Marathon - Week 5

Thank goodness Bill Murray finally got things right and got the girl (Andy MacDowell), because we need her to start week 5!

Sunday, Andy is a "Yank" (American) in a British world and has captured the attention of Hugh Grant in "Four Weddings and a Funeral."  

Monday, we keep Hugh Grant with us and hop the pond over to NYC and then take a little trip down memory lane to a day about 6 years ago. It was the girl-child's "worst day ever" and I took her to see "Music and Lyrics" to get her mind off things. Not only did it take her mind off things, it put the smile back on her face! And so began our fascination with movies!

Tuesday, re-join Kristin Johnson (who played Sophie Fisher's sister in "Music and Lyrics") as the stand-in Maid of Honor for Anne Hathaway who has had a major falling out with her former Maid-of-Honor (also bride) Kate Hudson in "Bride Wars." Bridezilla's got NOTHING on these two!! When they say you're supposed to wear "something blue" on your wedding day, I don't think they mean your hair!! (or bruises!)

Wednesday, we take Candise Bergen from her role as Wedding Planner and put her in the role of Pageant Director with a sinister plan in "Miss Congeniality." This is another of our favorite movies. Favorite line: "You go, Gracie Lou!" I got to use that line myself last month when my girl-child (aptly named "Grace") won "Miss Congeniality" in the school pageant! 

Thursday, we leave behind pageants and weddings and take Michael Caine, who does a quick-change from prissy pageant coach to Warlock dad to Nicole Kidmann, a/k/a Samantha "Sam" Stevens, who is doing a little nose-twitching in "Bewitched."

On Friday, we tag along with Heather Burns as she morphs from dressing room assistant on "Bewitched" to best friend and co-activist to activist/attorney Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) in "Two Weeks' Notice."   

Saturday, we wind up the week bringing Robert Klein over to introduce us to Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey as Andi Anderson and Ben Barry in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." Favorite Klein quote in this movie: "... women of New York, frost yourselves!!"

And there you have our Week 5 lineup! We have another holiday next week, so we're trying to connect our movie cast dots to get there ... can we do it?? (I think we can!) Stay tuned ...
